I wish that big boy would have walked down the river, swam across at St. Gabriel; made his way into my property and raped several does!
Nice genetics!
The deer was killed on a 20 acre section of CRP land. He had never seen him prior to shooting him..
What I take from this is something we all know already - right place, right time. Have to be in the woods enough for something to wander by. Wish I had more time to spend out there. Pretty rare though for a deer to age that long in this part of the world.
